I admit that I had expected it to be more split between myself and the DM.I have been saying a lot lately that there is always another side to every story. In this case there would be 4 or 5 (depending if you would count the DM and his wife separately) stories. I'm not saying that I was without fault and I'm sure things could have been resolved better (hindsight is always better).As for the bow, I physically didn't meet the requirements to use it since I only had an 11 strength also, but I had just gained access to 2nd level druid spells so I could have used Bull's Strength to meet them. It really just bothers me that I had stated that I was keeping it since I would meet the requirements shortly and then the rogue starts using what's on my sheet just when I have the ability to meet them. And it wasn't even taken in game. It seems that it was decided during the week that there was a bow not being used and it was taken then.I think about running a game every once in awhile, but I tried it years ago and found out quickly that I don't have the ability to cope with chaotic environments. My mind was too structured back then and it has only gotten worse. I try to think of different ways that certain situations might go but invariably the players would do the most outrageous or ludicrous thing that they could think of."You see a pool that looks to be made of black viscous material.Sit. 1 "I'll go cautiously toward it to get a better look.Sit. 2 "I'll going to go into the pool to see if there might be anything in there.What really happens "I'm going to go up to the pool and take a drink.Don't these people understand that their character is a living, breathing, thinking person that should weigh situations somewhat rationally? Would any of these people in real life go to take a drink out of a pool of black viscous liquid? How does one handle a situation like this? My mind was still reeling from that one days later.</blockquote>
